Shifting Mindsets: The Impact of a Patient Portal on Functioning and Recovery in a Mental Health Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to understand whether higher use of a patient portal can have an impact on mental health functioning and recovery.

Method

A mixed methods approach was used for this study. In 2019-2021, patients with mental health diagnoses at outpatient clinics in an academic centre were invited to complete World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale 12 (WHODAS-12) and Mental Health Recovery Measure surveys at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after signing up for the portal. At the 3-month time point, patients were invited to a semistructured interview with a member of the team to contextualize the findings obtained from the surveys. Analytics data was also collected from the platform to understand usage patterns on the portal.
